I Do Not Live Here Alone

I came across this poem today, and since its been so long since I’ve done a post I thought I would keep it short and sweet. I do believe that everything we do is interconnected. That every action is significant, and that every person is important and perfect.

I Do Not Live Here Alone

Each breath I take affects the air all around me

Each word I utter falls on someone else’s ears.

That which I touch is felt by another .

That which I do will certainly affect another .

That which I do not, will also affect another.

We never know how far-reaching something we say or do really is, until it returns to us.

Carolyn, I wish I knew. I have a lot of poems that I keep in my heart. This one percolated up, but alas its author was never remembered. Please if anyone recognizes this, I would love to give him/her credit.
